How do people pick a server? It helps to find a server that shares your interests, like cat pics, film photography, or shitposts. Think about what you like to see on your home timeline. [poop emoji] Seek out servers that aren’t overwhelmed with huge amounts of users. These places sometimes struggle to keep up with moderation. Instead, look for small (1-10k member) servers.

Most servers are donation-based, and voluntary donations directly cover the hosting costs. You can also host your own server, and be a federation of 1, or invite your friends!
